This is a guest post from Zach Siegal-Eisman of Big Sunday. Read on to see how you can get involved in your community May 4 – 6.

Big Sunday is an organization that builds community through community service. We believe that everyone has some way that they can help somebody else.

Our biggest event each year is Big Sunday Weekend—always in the spring, usually in late April or early May. That’s when thousands of people from California, of all ages and all backgrounds, work together at hundreds of nonprofits, schools and other agencies that need their help.

Last year on Big Sunday Weekend, 50,000 volunteers turned out—some as individuals, others with their families, still others as part of a class, church, synagogue, mosque, business or club—to lend a hand at more than 500 different projects from San Diego to San Francisco, making Big Sunday Weekend one of the largest regional community service events in America.

On Big Sunday Weekend there are opportunities for every passion, talent, skill and age. Projects are scheduled throughout the weekend, and can last anywhere from one hour to two full days. Big Sunday Weekend also includes special events such as art shows, sports days, yard sales and blood drives. Plus, last year on Big Sunday Weekend, we gave away more than 85 truckloads of clothes, books, food, furniture, musical instruments, luggage, toys and other items.

For many people, Big Sunday Weekend is just the beginning of an involvement that continues throughout the year. Many of our volunteers build lasting relationships with the nonprofits they first help on Big Sunday Weekend. All year long—and for years to come—they continue to volunteer, mentor, serve on boards and contribute goods, services and money to support these worthy causes.

Meanwhile, other good-hearted people are always calling us looking for ways to give back and help out. And our nonprofit partners are often looking for a little extra assistance. Now we connect the two.

Our motto is everyone helps, everyone wins.

Volunteering with Big Sunday is year-round but our Big Sunday Weekend is May 3, 4 and 5. To get involved, go to BigSunday.org/get-involved and you can view the year-round calender here.
